So this afternoon I made a foolish mistake by trying to rush the install of new air filters... For whatever reason I thought I recalled there only being three screws... so I unscrewed the three screws and pulled on the cover and POP the fourth screw i didnt remove broke off with the plastic drive hole from the cover still attached!!

I went ahead and changed the air filters with the K&Ns i purchased and replaced everything as normal. There is a slight gap in the outer edge of the side that broke off... But i dont think its large enough to let anyting through.

So I have several questions, I'm hoping someone can help answer...

Is it ok to continue to drive with one of the screws not attached? I assume as long as i dont drive in the rain i should be ok?

How much does a new cover cost? I looked on ebay but couldnt find one.

Is there a way to repair the cover or am i stuck buying a new one?

Does this present a good time to upgrade the intake given my need for a new cover? I still have the powertrain warranty and I'd like to keep it that way...

Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Note to self... dont try to rush things after a long day of work!
